    Three dead soldiers and the response is a shrug and a talking point. Where I live, the outrage lasted one news cycle, then the wine got poured and everyone drifted to the next scandal. Funny, isn’t it? Satellites, missiles, bodies — and we’re debating who knew what, when. Charming country.

    Three caskets come home. Somebody in Beijing sold the coordinates. Washington answers with a stern statement and a fresh round of nothing. Meanwhile my neighbor’s garage is stacked with Chinese-made gear, and he’s worried about egg prices. Funny, in the way a funeral is funny. We’ll sanction somebody’s cousin and call it resolve.
